‘I couldn’t even think or breathe;’ DeKalb Co. mother says suspect stole her car from daycare center

Dekalb County Police are looking for the guy they said stole a car from a daycare center on Columbia Drive in Decatur.

Latoya Burns said it happened last Tuesday.

“I was just doing drop off at the day care around 8:24 a.m. I kissed my kids and took them in,” said Burns.

Burns said she was driving a 2012 Nissan Altima with damage to the passenger’s headlight and the hood is secure with a Green bungee cord.

After she got out of her car, she walked inside the center.

“We heard a loud horn and someone just holding down on the horn,” said Burns.

Burns said that was an employee inside one of the vans. He was letting everyone know what was going on outside.

“As soon as I hear the horn, I go to the door, and I just see my car reversing out of the parking space that I was parked in, and it just took off out of the parking lot.”
